We are working with a well‑established manufacturing business operating within the FMCG / injection moulding sector. The site operates a fast‑paced, investment‑led environment, with a strong focus on reliability, proactive maintenance and continuous improvement. This is a great opportunity for a Reliability Engineer who is looking for genuine project work, autonomy and the chance to shape the future of the site's maintenance function. This is a newly created, Monday to Friday, days‑only role, working 8am – 5pm.
As a Reliability Engineer, you’ll lead the implementation of a new CMMS, stores and PPM system across the site, moving the team away from reactive maintenance and towards a proactive, planned approach. Alongside the systems rollout, you’ll deliver hands‑on training and coaching to the wider engineering team, embedding new ways of working as the site invests £6m and moves to 24/7 production. This opportunity would suit a Reliability or Maintenance Engineer who enjoys project work as much as day‑to‑day maintenance – someone who wants to implement new systems, coach and develop others, and build a maintenance function from the ground up. In return, you’ll get days‑only hours with no weekends, and genuine scope for career progression as the site grows.
